New Sections of East River Park Now Open

Just in time for summer, New York City has opened large new sections of the new East River Park.

Local officials and the design team which includes MNLA, AKRF, One Architecture, BIG, Arcadis, and Jacobs marked the opening of large sections of the new East River Park, which is being rebuilt at an 8- to 10-foot-higher elevation as part of the flood protection provided by East Side Coastal Resiliency. The areas opened to the public on Memorial Day.

This quarter-mile stretch of park brings a variety of new amenities to the community, including basketball and tennis courts, picnic and BBQ areas, a multi-use turf field, open lawn space, and inviting zones for nature exploration and water play. As an addition to the already completed Stuyvesant Cove Park, it now forms part of a broader one-mile span of realized Manhattan coastal resiliency.
